I wish there was a TV with absolutely no built in smart features and a slot in the back for a compute module (like a RP CM5).

Or just a few Display Ports and HDMI

Someone once said on here that NEC made TVs like that but I couldn't find anything

[–] legopika@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 days ago

Not sure where to find them, but I did see this video awhile ago about them

They call them projectors. They're just way too expensive to be reasonable replacements for the average user.

I got an Optoma projector for the bedroom that I love. It's about $1000 USD. Is that on the high end? I guess. I'd call it medium. But I know many people that spend that much and more on their TV. Works pretty well even in day/with the light on, obviously far better with the room darkened, and even has a gaming optimised mode.

Oh no, "smart projectors" are definitely a thing.
